This was.my first time staying at this inn. I've seen ads in Southern Living Magazine since the 90s. It's located in a former paper mill. The wooden beans and flooring are beautiful. The inn is located a bit away from the hustle and bustle of Meeting Street- though it's just a 5 min. walk away. I stayed here on business and again, was desperate for a place to state. It was the week of the Southeast Wildlife conference and most places were booked. I got luck, as there was a cancellation. I had a corner room, with a comfy bed with white linens and a spacious living room. The inn is right across the street from a Harris Teeter grocery store.There aren't many shops near this inn, as it is tucked away in a neighborhood. The interiors are well done in the traditional style fitting an inn. Apparently the mother-and-daughter team and inn owners, who also live in Charleston, handle all interior decorating.My only concern was a slight odor. Most noses won't puck it up, but b/c of the rain, it was more prominent.All in all, I'd stay here again.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a nice review on TripAdvisor! I am so happy to hear that after having heard about the Ansonborough Inn for so many years you finally had the opportunity to stay with us. Southeastern Wildlife Expo is a really busy week, so it sounds like you got really lucky with the cancellation that allowed you to have a reservation. It would say it was "meant to be." I am glad to hear that you enjoyed our interior decor, as well as your room. Thanks again for the great review on TripAdvisor--I hope to see you again!

Rarely does my husband say he wants to go back somewhere .... And YES!!! This is one of those he wants to come back!. Prices reasonable, service amazing, location was awesome, beds sooo comfy... Loved the fire place since it happened to be a cold evening & morning ... Exposed wood beams & art work... beautiful ... Husband also enjoyed the wine & cheese :-) breakfast--coffee & juices were great but the rest was just so-so ... However they clearly state it is only continental. However! I My opinion is it would have been easy for them to set out a quiche or casserole , which would have been just perfect

It is wonderful to know that our rates, service, location, and amenities all contributed to a fantastic visit to Charleston!

We arrived at Ansonborough Inn late night after having received very helpful over-the-phone instructions on how to find our way. Since we came slightly off season (early February) we got a good deal (upgraded to a more expensive room, same price as ordinary room). The room was truly amazing, as was the service from the very friendly staff. The only minus was perhaps the lack of healthy more "whole grain" alternatives at breakfast - which otherwise was excellent. Location is great. Close to many VERY good restaurants.

This hotel is even better than it looks in the pictures. The building itself has a lot of exposed wood beams and beautiful exposed brickwork. The rooms are so spacious and well furnished. Plenty of room to move around and feel at home. Even the bathroom is huge. We stayed in early February, so the fireplace by the bed was cozy, romantic, and much appreciated! The staff are also wonderful - so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was more than expected (yummy fresh hot cinnamon rolls!) and the afternoon reception was also delicious. The location is great - only a few blocks from the market area, and easy walking distance to most things downtown. I have stayed here twice now and look forward to visiting again.

We recently revisited this inn, one of our all time favorites. The comfortable, charming room, the warm ambiance and good food were just as remembered. It's within easy walking distance of the historical sites and in a lovely area for walking. We love this place!

So glad we found this hotel! Great rooms in awesome location for very resonable price! You can get twice the room for your $. A lot of the hotels inthe area have small cramped rooms due to the age of the buildings. But Ansonborough Inn is an old converted stationers warehouse so the rooms are very spacious. Loved all the brick and pine...gorgeous!We stayed in the Anson Suite which is one of the Premium Plus rooms. About 750sq feet with sitting area with sofa, wet bar with sink, coffee maker, small fridge and microwave. Large bathroom with dual sinks and shower/tub combination. One entire wall was giant windows covered in plantation shutters so you can get a lot of light or block it all out.The location is within walking distance of everything...Historical district, shopping, restaurants...and costs less than many other hotels of lesser quality. There is a Grocery store right across the street so we were able to stock up on snacks for the room.Would definitely stay here again !

My husband and I just enjoyed the Ansonborough Inn for a delightful weekend. We arrived a bit early and our room was already waiting for us. Jake at reception was so helpful and personable. Our room was comfortable, with a couch and sink within the bedroom. Incredibly high ceilings and a very comfy king size bed were the highlights!! We spent some time on the roof top deck during the afternoon. The continental breakfast was more than adequate and the complimentary wine and cheese in the afternoon was quite enjoyable. From the Inn you can walk the entire historic district of Charleston and then return and you feel like you're miles away from all the tourists. We did have to pay for parking ($12), but to be able to be so close to everything and not need your car, the parking fee was totally acceptable. We can highly recommend this quaint inn to everyone!
